Famous quotes containing the words latin and/or writers:
“OUR Latin books in motly row,
Invite us to our task—
Gay Horace, stately Cicero:
Yet there’s one verb, when once we know,
No higher skill we ask:
This ranks all other lore above—
We’ve learned “’Amare’ means ‘to love’!””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“I have always noticed that in portraits of really great writers the mouth is always firmly closed.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
